Cool, this looks like what I need. Just to be clear, this process
transforms the array in-place, right (in other words, without deleting
the data)? The 1->0 conversion happened on a live (in-use) filesystem,
so I'm assuming it can go the other way (bringing the system down to do
it on an unmounted volume is fine, though, if necessary).
Actually, now that I'm looking at this page:
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/p62517/en/chapterb.htm#1054745
I see this: "Dell OpenManage Array Manager (only for Windows and
Netware)". This system runs Debian Linux; any chance of an equivalent
tool?
